The final goal was scored by… The Tigers came close on several occasions but as they have all season, the Chief’s defense is resilient and Tyler Moses is rounding into post-season form, with diving saves like this.

#2 Glendale Falcons – 5 (PKs)
#3 Nixa Eagles - 4
The Nixa Eagles discovered some mojo tonight and his name is Robert Neathery. Scoring three goals for the Eagles, before going out late in the match with an injury, it appeared the boys team were destined to repeat the heights reached by the girls program in the Spring. It was not to be however as the Falcon’s clawed their way back into the game, finally equalizing in the 77th minute on sophomore Evan Garrad’s 30 yard blast that found the upper 90 (see below).

Greenwood Stadium Field at Cooper Soccer Complex

KOLR10 has the first Glendale goal, catch it on their 10 pm broadcast. I’ve got Photos

The game was entertaining, with both teams focused on displaying their skills, but it lacked intensity in the words of a long-time observer of the game. My response to that comment was that this was the intense version of both teams. That assessment probably speaks as much to the style of play both of these teams exhibit as it does to the relative youth represented on each team. With Districts less than two weeks away (voting happens Wednesday for District 11) the question is whether a team in the District will separate itself from the pack with the season on the line.

For Nixa, the critical element is the same issue it has faced all season. The Eagle’s are not going to win by scoring bunches of goals and more importantly, need to find a running partner for KhaiUyen Huynh, someone willing to shoot the ball. I nominate Robert Neathery. Nixa is 5-3 in games decided by one goal with losses to Kickapoo and Carthage (twice) while beating Kickapoo by the same score recently. However, when pressured tonight, the game ended up resembling a Brett Favre game with the Eagle’s trying to win the game with a single pass instead of making the simple pass.

Glendale feasted on that behavior in the second half with the second and third goal coming as a direct result of the counter-attack. The first came as a Nixa midfielder was unable to put enough on his pass to get it to his teammate 10 ft away. The Falcon defender stepped in front and sent a pass down the right side that Austin Hart took into the box where he was tripped as the Eagle’s defender attempted to react to the attack. The resultant PK gave Glendale a 2-0 lead. Soon afterwards, it was center midfielder Joe Aubuchon who stepped in front of a pass at midfield and send a beautiful thru ball into space that Hart ran onto, keeping his defender on his back, before slotting his shot to the far post as he entered the box. Much better than he showed against Rolla when he had three shots in the box blocked, and the type of result the rest of the District has to anticipate. The final goal came late in the game as Martinez, who covered the entire pitch tonight in leading the Falcons, buried a 25 yard shot into the upper 90 that drew gasps from the crowd.

Nixa Eagles Celebrate Kickapoo Shootout Trophy

PHOTO GALLERY or see a sample at the bottom of the page

Following a decade of participation in the Shootout, this weekend was the first time the Eagles have won their 1st game of the tourney, a 2-0 shutout of KC-based Blue Springs, moving them into the winner’s bracket for Saturday. Both goals were scored by senior KhaiUyen Huynh. A late morning 1-0 win over St Louis-based Pattonville, goal by Drake Hughes with an assist from KhaiUyen Huynh, moved the Eagles into the title match and an opportunity to test themselves against their most significant challenge of the season, against the Chief’s who are the favorite in the chase for the District 11 title. Matching the girls team this year must be a significant incentive for the Eagles.

Neathery’s goal was only a small part of his story today. The Eagle’s were without central midfielder Drake Trease for both of today’s matches as well as losing forward Jameson McFadden for the season due to a broken arm. The sophomore stepped into the central position, parnering with Corey Cann, and ensured that Nixa didn’t falter. KhaiUyen Huynh has also stepped up his game, as represented by his role in the Eagle’s offense this weekend but more importantly his work rate and ability to create in the offensive end, opening opportunities for the team. Drake Hughes and Adrian Yang-Jacobi, both given more responsibility and playing time this weekend, stepped up as well.

It was a lively and enjoyable match as either team could have won. November is looking more and more interesting.

Catholic at Carthage, Harvest Moon on 1st Day of Fall

The game was a lively affair as both teams got into a running game but once Coach Joe Kofron had a chance to chat with his starters, they focused on slowing down the game and running their offense. It led to two late goals, first by freshman Ryan Randell, getting his first varsity goal from a set piece, pouncing on the 40 yard ball into the box when it fell to him. In the final minute of the first half, sr Taylor Arens stepped in front of a pass at midfield and was given too much space as he came forward, finally unleashing a shot from 25 yards that found the bottom right corner, slipping under goalkeeper Ludin Gonzalez’s diving save attempt. Two additional goals in the second provided the final margin.

View photos from the game

While a skilled team, the Tiger’s were reminded tonight what playoff soccer looks like and they will need to find a way to make better use of striker Joe Curti who had limited touches until moving back into the midfield. The Irish offense looks to be the most potent in the region, regardless of class, but Kickapoo, Glendale and possibly Nixa are all looking for post-season success and Carthage will need to begin preparing now for playoff soccer. Unless they want this to be their third straight year finishing in the Sectional game.

Carthage faces Willard on Tuesday, one of two challengers along with Joplin for the District 12 crown the Tigers hope to capture again.

Carthage, the top-ranked Class 3 program in Southwest Missouri, hosts the Irish tonight, probably the best team in the region regardless of class. This could be the bragging rights game of the season.

Willard added one more at 54 minutes when Jaxn Rogers ran into the right side of the box and buried his 12 yard shot from a severe angle into the roof of the net at the near post. It came as a result of a ball stolen from the Central defense on the left side which was then sent to the far right side by Josh Lingurar who found Rogers.

Catholic Fightin’ Irish – 1
Waynesville Tigers – 0
In a game that could have gone either way, the result hinged on a few key plays. The goal was scored by junior Justin Bowenschulte in the 48th minute, as he took Adam Entrup’s square ball from the right side before side-stepping a defender and slotting his shot to the far post. Add sophomore goalkeeper Levi Millsap’s diving save of a shot in the 64th minute that seemed destined for the back of the net, and the difference in the result was found in those few seconds.

The differences between the two teams are significant. Catholic started a lone senior (Cullen Barr) along with a pair of juniors, six sophomores and a freshman central midfielder (Luke Strauss) while Waynesville has 4 seniors, 6 juniors and a lone sophomore (Gehrig Haberstock) starting. Despite these differences, both teams have to feel confident about their opportunities at the District level this year. Waynesville will battle Rolla and Camdenton for supremacy in Class 3 District 10 while Catholic is looking towards New Covenant and Greenwood in Class 1 District 6. I’ll be certain to keep you up-to-date on the progress both teams are certain to make towards there common goal. UPDATE – as Pat Taggart notes, Reid Harbach is a freshman and I missed him in my initial count that only had ten total. The Catholic flyer has Dahlberg listed as a sophomore. So 1, 2, 6, 2 is my current count

That’s Catholic’s midfield general, sophomore Taylor Arens, winning the head ball in front of junior Ben Moore.

Willard Tigers – 5
Central Bulldogs – 0
The Bulldogs continue to impress as they worked hard the entire 80 minutes. The Tiger’s were unable to open it up like last year’s game but they have the team speed that allowed them to get down the wings, creating opportunities in the box they were able to capitalize on. Junior Tyler Sevon was the primary recipient, scoring the first three on assists by seniors Parlie Shikany (2) and Marian Lup. Lup and Jonah Nadeau also scored, Josh Lindsey with the shutout and 11 saves against the Bulldogs. Shikany is pictured turning the corner.
